The Wind In My Hair...I Mean Streamers

I love love riding my circa 1940's Schwinn Corvette,
the wind blowing through my long silver locks
...well could be if I wasn't wearing my helmet
...but it did blow through my pink streamers,
which is almost as good as 
blowing through
my hair.
Sunday, the temperature took a sudden dip from the
humid  low 30's of recent days,
to a cooler and refreshing 24 degrees,
perfect for jumping on our  bikes
and exploring.
...an old farm road running through corn fields nestled between
the north and south mountain.
This road was very deceiving

...what appeared to be a downhill ride as we started
was just the opposite.
 I  first thought my brakes must be
sticking or that I was
stuck in the wrong gear.
But coming back was a breeze...weeeee...

There were lots of old derelict vehicles 
scattered in the surrounding woods,
but the hubby really liked 
this old
International truck.

 An old abandoned camp...
...with outdoor amenities, 
aptly  named
~The Shitter~
..fields of hay.
...hives situated throughout the orchards.
Maintaining a
good supply of pollinators 
is important to the 
apple growers.



The hubby wouldn't come within 20 feet
of these babies.

...a picnic in the orchard
followed by an 
"Anne Of Green Gables"
moment
...if only my hair were red.


Happy walking,
Marisa
